Prism Sticker

Got me a prism sticker from for my glasses!

It takes some getting use to but I shouldn't have to use it forever. This is just until my vision corrects itself.
Here is the low down.

The lesion is right around the visual cortex for my left eye.

Here is a diagram on how the brain connects the eyes. For all you biology students out there, you remember that the left eye connects to the right side of the brain and vise versa.

The ophthalmologist didn't want to do anything invasive since my eyes look healthy and they believe  it will heal fully in about 2 to 3 months. For now I will use the prism sticker on only the left lens of my glasses to reduce my double vision.

The prism sticker doesn't give me perfect vision. I still see double when I look all the way to my left. There are different ranges for prisms. If I look all the way to my left I would need a 30 strength prism were if I look all the way to my right it's a 0. So they went with 12 for a happy medium. It works enough so that I see a single image when I look forward. Especially far away. close up is not a problem. Because it's a sticker, like a window cling, it does make my vision sorta blurry for my left eye.
All in all, I'm thrilled! While Joe drove me home I loved looking around and seeing God's beautiful creation. I certainly have learned to cherish my vision and thank the Lord for his complex and wonderful design.

Oh, and of course having a blast with this awesome dude! Thanks for driving me Joe!

MRI images from today's appointment.

Still got double vision going on so my friend, Kimberly, took me to my MRI appointment in Rockford IL. Yeah, if you ever want to get lost just have me navigate. Long story short we got there...eventually. Here is a new MRI pictures. My last MRI was 5 years ago. Technology has improved and so have the images. My MRI pictures that I posted back in 7/17/2011 were small and blurry. Now they are much clearer.

White/grey areas are lesions. Lesions are bad.

I'm not a doctor so I can only pick out the obvious lesions and those are the ones I circled in red.

Edit/update 6/21/16: 

My neurologist nurse, Lisa, called with the analysis of my MRI. There is only one new lesion and it's on my spinal cord. That lesion is the cause of my current relapse. 

Otherwise, my brain hasn't changed in the past 5 years and is stable! That is amazing! I am even more convinced that this relapse was trigger by my violent reaction to Copaxone. I also believe my diet change is what has helped stabilize my brain for so long. 

My double vision is linked to my lazy left eye that I've had for years but was triggered by the relapse. The belief, so far, is that because lazy eye is due to a weak muscle that when the relapse happened my left eye went further out of whack and can't correct itself without help. I will know more after my eye appointment tomorrow. 

The neuro nurse seemed pretty shocked by how fast I seem to be recovering. They told me to keep doing what I'm doing (diet wise) because it seems to be working. I also credit my prayer warriors. I know their heavenly petition on my behalf are crucial. All glory to God, Amen!
